This guide describes how to use Steam Proton to play and run Windows games on your Linux computer. Some games may not work or may break because Steam Proton is still at a very early stage.
1. Activating Steam Proton for Linux:
Proton is integrated into the Steam Client with "Steam Play." To activate proton, go into your steam client and click on Steam in the upper right corner. Then click on settings to open a new window. From here, click on the Steam Play button at the bottom of the panel. Click "Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles."
Alternatively: Go to Steam > Settings > Steam Play and turn on the "Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles" option.
Valve has tested and fixed some Steam titles and you will now be able to play most of them. However, if you want to go further and play titles that even Valve hasn't tested, toggle the "Enable Steam Play for all titles" option.
2. Choose a version
You should use the Steam Proton version recommended by Steam: 3.7-8. This is the most stable version of Steam Proton at the moment.
3. Restart your Steam
After you have successfully activated Steam Proton, click "OK" and Steam will ask you to restart it for the changes to take effect. Restart it. Your computer will now play all of steam's whitelisted games seamlessly.
4. Launch Stardew Valley on Linux:
Before you can use Steam Proton, you must first download the Stardew Valley Windows game from Steam. When you download Stardew Valley for the first time, you will notice that the download size is slightly larger than the size of the game.
This happens because Steam will download your chosen Steam Proton version with this game as well. After the download is complete, simply click the "Play" button.
The abyss awaits. Descend into a minimalist visual novel about a girl in the future, and guide her through branching conversations, microgames, and explorable locations. Make friends with criminals, drink too much at dinner, or relax in a spa. Whatever happens, it was your choice.

It’s 2989. Global population: 10,000,000 and falling. The final golden age has ended, and nobody cares.
You are Sheridan Swan, an engineering prodigy-turned-waitress, currently on parole. Your days are spent at Room and Pillar, your restaurant-prison, selling counterfeit designer goods when you’re not taking lunch orders or arguing with the automata chefs. Arcology Security hasn’t caught up with you yet, but they aren’t the only ones watching.
Serve your sentence, or choose a different path.

XVTM is a visual novel with light gameplay elements and branching story paths. Talk to people, robots, and even your reflection. Play microgames to deliver food, hack into protected systems, and lift weights. Visit luxury hotel suites, outdoor plazas, and empty shopping malls.
Experience a world past its expiration date, and the characters within.

Your decisions help shape the story, whether it’s choosing what to have for dinner, how to spend your free time, or the best way to get information from someone who doesn’t want to cooperate. In conversations, microgames, or in the world itself, what you do can have consequences later.
Remember, you always have options.

An immersive, dying world of machine magic and hyper-luxury
A branching narrative, where your choices, good or bad, follow you
Microgames for different activities, both criminal and mundane
Some explorable environments and locations
Multiple story paths, each with unique activities and endings
A minimalist aesthetic based on vector games of the 1980s
Secrets and dark corners that shouldn’t be disturbed

The future is not for the faint of heart. XVTM contains occasional explicit content that some players may find disturbing, offensive, or uncomfortable. Only persons 18 years or older are allowed to play.

XVTM is a handcrafted experience made with love and care by a solo developer. Your feedback will help guide development, and is always welcome on the forums.
